Purchase Geese Around The Sun Pattern
I love the combination of a star quilt pattern and a flying geese quilt pattern in one. I went through a few design iterations but none of them was anything special that I could hold on to. Then this idea came to me and it stuck.

Purchase Geese Around The Sun Pattern
This is the first time I didn’t draw straight on the quilt-top for quilting. I got some tracing paper, pinned it on the quilt, and drew the lines on it using a ruler. The process worked like a charm and the tracing paper tore off very easily.
I am going to make another one. It will have a dark background and Northcott Stonehenge fabric.
If you would like to make one for yourself, I have the Geese Around The Sun wall hanging pattern available in my shop. It’s not a beginner pattern, but if you have done paper piecing before, you can easily make it. I would also suggest trimming the whole piece only after you finish quilting it.

I love it. I think to use the color wheel colors in a quilt is super.
